Fans urged: don't protest during tonight's match

SAINTS fans have been warned against protesting against Nigel Adkins’ shock departure during tonight’s game at St Mary’s.

Mauricio Pochettino, Saints’ 14th permanent manager since the turn of the Millennium, takes charge of the club for the first time in front of the live Sky cameras against Everton.

The match comes just three days after the Argentinian was unveiled following Adkins’ sensational sacking by chairman Nicola Cortese.

Some Saints fans have talked up possible protests during the game, with pro Adkins songs and anti Cortese chanting.

But others insist that the fans must all get behind the players during the 90 minutes.

Nick Illingsworth believes the supporters must bring back the spirit of the early 1990s before and during tonight’s Premier League clash.

“Back in 1993 there were regular protests against Ian Branfoot, both before and after games,” said Illingsworth.

“But as soon as the first whistle went, bang!

Everybody would start supporting the team, and that continued throughout until the final whistle.

“That’s the way it should be tonight.

“We are all Saints fans and we all share the common goal of wanting Saints to stay in the Premier League.

“Let’s not make it any more harder than it’s been made in the last days.

“Let’s not make a drama into a crisis.

“I am sure there will be pro Nigel Adkins songs, just as there were pro Alan Pardew songs when Nigel Adkins took over.

“But during the game I hope everyone will just get behind the team.

“We have seen what has happened at St Mary’s before when there has been animosity towards managers and chairmen.

“We have had some disastrous results.

“I was reading in the press last week after our draw at Chelsea that even the best clubs and players find it hard to produce good results if they feel the crowd is not really with them, or they’re having a go at the manager.”

Amid rumours of possible protests, Steve Grant, who runs fans internet forum SaintsWeb, said Pochettino could expect it to be a far from straight-forward start tonight.

Grant warned: “He will have my support but there will be a lot of fans who will take the view that he has got to earn their support.

“It is going to be difficult given the run of games we have coming up.”

Shona Brooks contacted the Echo to say: “I would agree with honouring Adkins with a minute’s applause on Monday night.

“But protests will only harm the morale of the team and, in turn, possibly the results, so we would only be damaging our own club.

“Champions League football does not happen overnight so lets back the manager and team, starting Monday, and support the Saints.”

Grant Goddard also contacted the Echo to add: “The club and fans should pay their respect to all the work Nigel has done for us, with at least a minute’s applause before the game starts.

“But after that the fans need to get behind the team, the new manager and everyone else at the club.

“Waving of a white hankie, like the Spanish do, is not exactly going to get much of a message to our Italian chairman. “And for the people who have been making the comments about the new man not speaking English, I’m sure in no time he will learn.

“It’s really not a big deal.”

Illingsworth admits Pochettino is unlikely to receive overwhelming support tonight.

“If Nigel Adkins had resigned and taken a job elsewhere, the new manager would be cheered,” he explained.

“If Adkins had been sacked at the end of the season, or sacked last November when Saints were bottom, the new manager would have been cheered.

“His biggest problem tonight is that he is not Nigel Adkins. That’s his only crime.

“In the same way, Nigel Adkins’ biggest crime when he arrived was that he wasn’t Alan Pardew.

“But Saints fans have grown to admire and respect Adkins more than they did Pardew.”

Illingsworth admits the timing of Adkins’ sacking took him by surprise, with Saints still very much embroiled in a relegation scrap.

“I’m all for forward thinking and planning ahead, and talk of going up to the next level,” he said.

“But we have to achieve at the level we’re at first, and that means staying up this season. “We have to get the foundations in place before we can think of stepping up, and we’ll come crashing down.

“If we had sacked Nigel Adkins at the end of this season after finishing 15th or 16th, then fans might have understood if Cortese had said we need to move up to the next level.

“If Cortese had sacked Nigel Adkins back in November, there would not have been half the fury there is now.

“The reason there is the fury is because the fans could see that we were improving after a bad start.

“To sack him now is almost beyond belief.

“We have made it hard for ourselves ahead of a very big game.

“We are coming up to a make or break period, and now not everyone will be fully focussed on supporting the team.

“We have been on a bit of a roll and now we have shot ourselves in the foot.

“But we all know what football is like.

“As I see it, we are only four wins and a couple of draws away from staying up. If we get those wins quickly, Nigel Adkins will quickly be forgotten.”

Depends on what you call a protest. Personally I think a few rounds of "one Nigel Adkins" would be very appropriate before the game and maybe half time as well. If we lose you can expect a lot more. That's no disrespect to the new manager, just the only way the fans have of showing their thanks to a great manager who has been very badly treated. And if you think I'm not a Saint's fan fr believing this then it's you who is the idiot.

Seems mostly to be the Press stirring it up, those fans that still feel bad, may find it one way to get a closure, if they vent their spleen, I still want them all to back the team to win the game, in spite of what has gone on before the match. You can understand why they are upset and it is only natural that they feel that they have to do something, it's very difficult to remain rational when feelings are so high. I want to see it done sensibly, but there will be a few hotheads that will want to be disorderly, there will even be some with no agenda, that will love to cause trouble, it has to be handled sensibly.

The last thing we need is negativity, we will miss Nigel but we must get right behind the team, the new manger and the chairman who has done a great job for Saints from day 1 even if he has upset a few on the way! Not sure the protests were all that helpful in the branfoot era either, just support the team, we can influence the outcome of this season and there might not be much in it so let's be positive for the sake of our club!

Better to use the cameras on any non-believers and send in the missionaries to point them in the right direction, brain washing is probably not an option, you can't wash what they haven't got.

I suppose by "true supporter" you mean people who put up with anything thrown at them.

I think you've had 3 halves too many. If it wasn't for Cortese we'd be in the 4th division by now or out of existence. Your comments are premature and ridiculous. I bet my left nut you go to another game if you've already got a season ticket. Adkins has just received a six figure payout, lives in luxury and will walk into another ludicrously high paid job very soon. Put your toys back in the pram.

It is obvious that the new guy was lined up some months ago when Soton. were doing less well. That's how he's had the time to do his research on the Club and its players. The actual timing of Nigel's sacking was bad since it came after just two defeats in 12 PL fixtures. The method of the sacking - the fact that Nigel found out about it on Sky before meeting Cortese - is beyond belief. I certainly do not wish the reprehensible Cortese well. As for Nigel, whom I have met on several occasions at SUFC, he is a charming, enthusiastic chap for whom the glass is always half-full. I wish him well after all that he has done for Soton. I regret that, as a relative outsider, I shall no longer wish Soton. well.

Some will protest by staying away like me as Cortese has turned the club into a joke. If people feel they have to go out of loyalty and blindly follow whatever happens then they are mugs.

Understand what you are saying and agree to an extent, but I want to see Saints fans show their strength tonight, not by protesting, but by backing the team and COYR reverberating around the stadium at kick off in a show of defiance that one man can't destroy our club or belief. The media and other fans, particularly down the road, would absolutely love us to create an awful atmosphere at the ground and wallow around for a good few seasons talking about the good old days. All our relegation rivals would love it. People will be tuning in tonight specifically to see us turn on the team and get a whipping. Within weeks people will be saying how stupid we are to turn on our side, so let's not turn this crisis into an even bigger one. You might be happy for Nigel to sail up into the Premier League while we go down and lose our financial backing and best players, but I, while I'd be happy for NA, think that is giving up a hell of a lot just to prove a point. We can show our love for NA without getting nasty and taking everybody else down with us. I'm just praying that by some miracle we get a win tonight and, most importantly, play nice stuff with our new centre back looking class. COYR
